... In this study, at first, TiO2 nanowire was prepared by an alkaline hydrothermal process. In the following, Gr/Pd/TiO2-NPs and Gr/Pd/TiO2-NWs were synthesized by a combination of hydrothermal and photodeposition methods. The properties of as prepared products were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, DRS, TEM, ICP-OES, EDS and TGA analysis. SEM results confirmed nanodimension structure for all samp ...

... Ternary nanocomposite of Co2GeO4/r-GO@C is synthesized by single step hydrothermal method followed by calcination. The XRD analysis reveals the formation of cubic structured Co2GeO4 and their corresponding functional groups identified through Raman analysis. The TEM analysis assures that uniform distribution of Co2GeO4 nanoparticles on the r-GO layers. The Galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) curv ...

... A facile one-pot coreduction strategy was developed to synthesize composition-tunable cross-linked AgPt aerogels, where ionic liquid (1-aminopropyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [APMIm]Br) played a significant role in controlling the morphology and structure. During the synthesis progress, Br⁻ easily reacted with Ag⁺ to form AgBr precipitate and consequently slowed down the reducing rate of Ag⁺, as ...

... One dimensional Fe3O4 sub-microfibers with an average diameter of about 920nm and length of about 25μm were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis in the presence of sodium citrate (Na3cit). The physicochemical properties were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). ...

... Addressed herein is a facile seed-mediated synthesis of Ag/Pd core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) and their assembly on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to catalyze the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines using ammonia borane (AB) as a hydrogen donor under ambient conditions. Monodisperse Ag/Pd core/shell NPs with controllable Pd shell-thickness were synthesized by the means of thermal decomp ...

... The present study reports a new type of quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) using the zinc tin mixed metal oxides (MMO) as the anode materials, which were obtained from the layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursor. The successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method is applied to deposit CdS quantum dots. The effects of sensitizing cycles on the performance of CdS QDSSC are s ...

... A simple chemical synthetic route was designed to prepare zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) by using sodium alginate as anti-agglomeration agent in the presence of sodium hydroxide as alkali. Next, surface modification of ZnO-NPs with SiO2 nanoparticles was achieved as per to sol-gel process. Further enhancing of the multifunctional properties of SiO2@ZnO-NPs was conducted successfully thanks to ...

... The present work studies the stability of Langmuir organic–inorganic superlattice materials thin films consisting of layered perovskite-based films with controlled 2D framework as well as to design experimental conditions for increasing the efficiency of the organic–inorganic perovskite motif by mechanical stimulus. Therefore, a whole covering of the air/water interface by a compact and stable lea ...
